Scented plastics are a type of plastic packaging that has been infused with a fragrance or scent. This is achieved by adding a fragrance masterbatch during the manufacturing process, which allows the scent to be embedded throughout the plastic material.
Scented plastics are often used in a variety of packaging applications, including food packaging, personal care products, and household products. For example, scented plastics can be used to create a unique sensory experience for consumers when opening a package of food or a personal care item. They can also be used to mask unpleasant odors that may be associated with certain products.
One common application for scented plastics is in trash bags and garbage can liners, where the scent is designed to help neutralize and mask unpleasant odors. Scented plastics can also be used in air freshener products, as well as in packaging for pet products, where the scent can help reduce the smell of pet odors.
In addition to providing a unique sensory experience and masking unpleasant odors, scented plastics can also help brands differentiate their products on the shelf and enhance their overall appeal to consumers. However, it is important for manufacturers to ensure that the scent used in scented plastics is safe for use in food, personal care, and household products and that the scent does not degrade over time or impact the quality or safety of the product.
